Twice as much time is given for each math question as is given for each English question. How much time, in hours, is given for the 60 math questions?

2*60t+90t=210 minutes
120t+90t=210
210t=210
t=1 minute each but math gets 2t
2*60=120=2 hours for math
90=1 /1/2 hours for English
2 minutes for each math question and one minute for each English question
